Manchester City look to have a real gem in Montenegrin forward Stevan Jovetic.
The 23 year old, who the Citizens bought from Fiorentina for $34 million (£22m) last night, is poised to set the Etihad on fire with his searing pace and break-neck dribbling ability.
But what about his finishing?
In 2012-13 he lit up the Serie A for 13 goals in 31 contests, including a host of fantastic scores that include everything from simple finishes to 30 yard rockets.
Check out each one of his marks in the video below.
After reaching the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup, the USMNT have a big 2023 coming up as they aim to build off a successful showing on the world’s biggest stage.

Harry Kane broke Wayne Rooney’s record for goals in an England shirt, and the Three Lions outlasted a Luke Shaw red card and Mateo Retegui goal on his Italy debut to start EURO 2024 qualifying brightly with a 2-1 win in Napoli.
The win is England’s first in Italy since 1961.
England began its EURO 2024 quest the same way it finished its heartbreaking EURO 2020 campaign: facing Italy, now two-time champions of Europe, on Thursday.
Declan Rice buried a Harry Kane rebound off a corner kick, then Kane converted a penalty for his 54th England goal to break a tie with Rooney atop the Three Lions’ goals chart.
But Italy surged back to get a goal from Tigre’s Retegui on debut, and Shaw was awarded two yellow cards in three minutes to set England up to defend at least 10 minutes down a man.
Italy and England are joined in Group C by Ukraine, North Macedonia, and Malta. The sides that finish 1st and 2nd in the group will qualify for next summer’s tournament in Germany.
